LINUX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

SYS ADMIN TASKS Linux System Administration Setting the Run Level System Services User Management Network Settings Scheduling Jobs Quota Management Backup and Restore Adding and Removing software/packages Setting a Printer Monitoring the system (general, logs) Monitoring any specific services running. Eg. DNS, DHCP, Web, NIS, NPT, Proxy etc.

Init Runlevels Linux System Administration The following runlevels are defined in Linux: 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) 1 - Single user mode 2 - Multiuser, without Network (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) 3 – Text Mode 4 - unused 5 – Graphical Mode 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)

Init Runlevels Desktop Configuration The default runlevel for a system to boot to is configured in /etc/inittab. id:5:initdefault: In GUI: Applications  System Settings  Server Settings Services Generally, Linux operates in runlevel 3 or 5.

Linux Services Linux System Administration There are 113 deamons, Out of them, the following are most widely used: apmd : Power Management autofs : Automount services crond : Periodic Command Scheduler cups : Common Unix Printing System dhcpd : The DHCP server dovecot : IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol) server gpm : Mouse httpd : Apache Web server

Linux Services Linux System Administration iptables : Kernel based Packet Filtering firewall kudzu: Finds new Hardware mysqld : MySQL server named : BIND server network : Networking nfs : Network File Share nfslock : NFS file locking ntpd : NTP (Network Time Protocol) server portmap : RPC (Remote Procedure Call) support postgresql : The Postgresql Database Engine

Linux Services Linux System Administration sendmail : Sendmail Mail Server smb : Samba Network Services snmpd : Simple Network Management Protocol squid : Squid Proxy Server sshd : Open SSH and SFTP server syslog : System Logging xinetd : Provides support for telnet, ftp, talk, tftp etc. ypbind : NIS Server

Linux Services Linux System Administration Start/Stop boot time services in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d All services startup scripts which start with S will start at boot time and all startup scripts which start with K will not start at boot time. The number after S or K is the priority. K95kudzu K96pcmcia S56xinetd S60vsftpd Use service <service name> start/stop/restart to start, stop or restart a service from command line

Creating a new User Account Linux System Administration Creating a new User Account Add an entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file (use next uid and suitable gid). You will have to create the user directory and assign a password to the user Use useradd or adduser command to create a new user (useradd –g <group> -d <home directory> -c <comment> -s <shell> login-name) and groupadd to create a new group (groupadd group-name). You will have to assign a password (passwd login-name) In GUI: Applications  System Settings  Users and Groups

/etc/passwd File /etc/passwd Holds user account info Linux System Administration /etc/passwd File /etc/passwd Holds user account info Included fields are: Login name User Id (uid) Group Id (gid) General Comment about the user Home Directory Shell

/etc/shadow File Linux System Administration /etc/shadow Contains the encrypted password information for users' accounts and optionally the password aging information. Included fields are: Login name Encrypted password Days since Jan 1, 1970 that password was last changed Days before password may not be changed Days after which password must be changed Days before password is to expire that user is warned Days after password expires that account is disabled Days since Jan 1, 1970 that account is disabled

Suspending a User Account Linux System Administration Suspending a User Account Put a * as start of Password field in /etc/shadow Change login shell to /sbin/nologin Use GUI to suspend the user

Removing a User Account Linux System Administration Removing a User Account Remove login id from /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow file and delete home directory userdel –r <username> Use GUI to Delete the user
